David Tragic story to say the least. The PO commissioned the boat to sail in the Chicago Mac in 1974 and won her class. The crew returned the boat home, the owner met them at his YC with drinks, etc. Sat down in the cockpit proposed a toast to the crew and then suffered a massive stroke. After the owner's stroke the boat was placed in a heated warehouse for storage with the hopes that he would recover and eventually sail the boat.The recovery options were slim so his wife decided to sell the boat and I ran across her while actually looking at a Tartan 41 listed with the same broker. I had sailed on a '72 model 39 (#3) that was in Savannah at the time and really enjoyed the ride and the 39 is a much prettier boat than the Tartan 41 so the deal was done & I still own her. Amazingly, 18 months after the boat was delivered to me the PO called, he was on his way to FL and wanted to stop and take a look at Honey, I agreed, we met had a nice lunch at our YC and complimented me on the new red topsides. He said that he really regretted selling the boat, but knew that he would never be in shape to race her and sadly I had to agree. He passed away not long after our meeting.

Steve the purchase price for my 39 TM (with diesel engine and Kenyon 300 wind instruments, etc) was USD 54,200.00 delivered to the original owner in Mount Clemons, MI on 6 April 1974. I bought the boat on 1 Dec 1974 for USD 53,000.00 complete including the broker's 10% commission plus USD 1,500.00 for shipping for Savannah Jack Fitzgerald C&C 39TM In a message dated 6/25/2013 12:08:55 P.M.

He didn't put a lot of options on it so that was pretty close to the base price.

I know what a modern 30ish footer costs new, but what did our C&Cs cost back in the 70's and 80's? Some of the brochures have that info but most don't. How were C&Cs positioned price-wise compared to the competition? Just curious.
